5.5.5.1Printing to FastPort

After installing both hardware and software, FastPort is ready to print. Commonly used BSD print commands include:

	Table 5-4: BSD Print Commands
Command		Function
lpr -p <printer> <file>		Prints the file to the printer
lpq -P <printer>		Displays any active queues for the printer
lpc stat <printer>		Interactive program for printer management
lpc clean <printer>		*Remove all print jobs for the printer
lpc restart <printer>		*Restart this <printer> queue
lprm -p <printer> <job# >		*Removes the <job# > from the print queue

Note: * These parameters require root access.

5.5.5.2Customizing BSD Installation

Create the .fpconfig file in the spool directory (i.e.,:sd= entry in printcap), since this is where daemon executes fpfilter. The .fpconfig file should be owned by the daemon.

5.5.5.2.1Banner Pages and Accounting Information

To print a banner page, the install script must be told to print a banner. It adds the command bannerfirst to the .fpconfig file. To configure an existing printer to send a banner, remove the existing printer and run the installation script again.

Note: The banner-generating programs are supplied “as is.”

To print accounting info., add the line acctg to the .fpconfig file. This causes accounting information to be written to the file specified by:af=<filename> in the printcap entry.
